OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing this Clear-Com product. The
KB-702 and KB-702GM two-channel speaker stations are powerful,
user-friendly units that can serve as versatile intercom stations.
Please read this manual completely to better understand the functions of these
products. For questions not addressed in this manual, contact the dealer or
Clear-Com directly. Clear-Com applications support and service people are ready
to help.
DESCRIPTION
The Clear-Com KB-702 is a two-channel speaker station ideal for theatre, live
performances, industrial applications, and small TV facilities. It features excellent
speech intelligibility even in high-noise environments and can be tailored to your
needs through its programmable options.
In addition, the Clear-Com KB-702GM contains a jack for an optional
Clear-Com gooseneck panel microphone and a close-in, voice-controlled circuit
(VOX). This circuit allows automatic, alternate dipping of the panel microphone
and the speaker in response to conversation.
Selectable two-channel talking and/or listening allows the operator to
communicate on either of the intercom channels. The dual-action talk button is
electronic momentary or latching. Monitoring can be done through the headset,
the integral speaker, or both at once. The KB-702 offers both visual and audible
call signaling to attract the attention of operators. The remote mic kill (RMK)
feature on main stations will turn off any open mics on the KB-702.
A balanced program input allows the monitoring of external audio using the
headset or speaker. This program input can also be used as a paging function.
The KB-702 speaker station accepts dynamic headsets. A sidetone control allows
the operator to vary the level of his/her own voice as heard in the headset and
speaker.
The integral speaker can be turned on or off by a convenient front panel switch.
An automatic speaker dipping circuit will lower the level of the speaker whenever
the talk button is activated. This feature helps minimize acoustical feedback.
The KB-702 receives power from the Clear-Com intercom line. The unit
mounts either in a standard four-gang electrical outlet box or in an optional
Clear-Com four-gang V-box. The extra-thick front panel and compact
surface-mount circuitry maintains legendary Clear-Com ruggedness. The two
intercom channels connect to a plug-on screw terminal strip. Male and female
3-pin XLR connectors are provided on the four-gang V-box for an inline
connection to one of the intercom channels.

The optional EB7-TW daughter board module can be installed to provide an
interface to two intercom channels on a single microphone cable. Also, the
EB7-4W four-wire daughter board module is available to allow long-distance
connections using separate pairs of wire for send audio and receive audio. The
EB7-4W four-wire option supports two-channel operation.
The KB-702 and KB-702GM are compatible with all Clear-Com party-line
intercoms.
OPERATION
Normal operation of the KB-702 speaker station requires access only to the front
panel controls. The controls located elsewhere on the unit are intended to be
set-and-forget in nature. For intercom operation, set the listen level control to the
desired level and press the talk button when talking. If a headset or handset is
used, set the sidetone control for each channel for the desired amount of sidetone
in the earphone. If a hand-held push-to-talk mic is used, or if the panel mic is
used on the KB-702GM, set the sidetone controls for minimum feed-through to
the speaker to prevent acoustic feedback.
FRONT PANEL
The controls, indicators, and connectors found on the KB-702 and KB-702GM
front panels are shown in the following figures and are described by the following
text. The numbers in the left column refer to Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2: KB-702GM Front Panel
1. Talk Button and Indicator: The talk button activates the microphone feed
to the selected intercom channel. It has a dual action (momentary or latching)
depending upon how the button is pressed. If desired, the latching function
can be defeated using an internal option switch. The following describes the
various functions of this button.
MOMENTARY: Press and hold the talk button while you are speaking.
Release it when you are finished. The button lights amber when the talk
function is active and blue when it is inactive.
LATCHING: Press the button quickly to latch the talk function. Press
the button again to turn off the talk function.
VOX INDICATION: On the KB-702GM, when the VOX feature is
enabled, the talk button illuminates amber to indicate an active talk, and
the VOX light illuminates amber to indicate that the panel microphone
is in use. This will automatically dip the speaker.
2. Call Button and Light: Pressing the call button will send a call signal on the
selected channel. All the call lights on that channel will then flash. Call
signals can also be sent while talking if required. The call button will light
when pressed, or whenever a call signal is present on the selected channel. An
internal option jumper can be set to allow the call button to light when a call
signal is present on either channel.
3. Tone Alert: An audible tone alert can be enabled to sound when a call signal
is received on the selected channel or either channel. This can be useful when
the operators attention has been drawn away from the KB-702 indicator
panel. The audible tone alert level can be adjusted or turned off by an
internal control. The tone alert will not sound if a call signal originates at the
KB-702 station or if the speaker on/off switch is turned off. The tone alert

plays through both the speaker and headset if the speaker on/off switch is
turned on.
4. Volume Control: Turn this control to set the volume required on the speaker
or headset. This control does not affect the tone alert level or the program
input level.
5. Sidetone Control: Sidetone is the level of your own voice that you hear while
talking on the intercom. Setting a comfortable level of sidetone will ensure
that the intercom line sounds alive and also helps you modulate your voice
relative to other voices on the line.
Typically, different sidetone null settings are needed depending upon whether
you are using the speaker. Use one of the following procedures to correctly
set the sidetone level control.
Sidetone Adjustment Procedure for Headset:
1. Set the intercom level control to a comfortable level by having someone
talk to you from another station.
2. Press the talk button and speak into the microphone while turning the
sidetone null control slowly back and forth until you hear your voice at a
comfortable level in the headset.
Sidetone Adjustment Procedure for Gooseneck Mic (KB-702GM only) or
hand-held push-to-talk mic with the speaker turned on:
1. Set the VOX control fully counterclockwise to disable this feature.
2. Set the intercom level control to a comfortable level.
3. Press the talk button and speak into the microphone while turning the
sidetone null control slowly back and forth. There should be a point
where your voice (and any accompanying acoustic feedback) disappears.
This is the null point.
4. Readjust the VOX control. (Refer to the VOX control paragraph in this
section.)
6. Program Level Control: Adjust the program level control to set the program
audio level heard in the headset or panel speaker.
Note: Do not force the trimpots past their stop points. This will damage
them.
7. Speaker On/Off Switch: The speaker on/off switch turns the front panel
speaker on or off. This switch also controls whether the tone alert is heard
through the speaker. The speaker volume will automatically dip whenever
the talk function is set, unless the VOX function is disabled.
8. Mic Select Switch (KB-702GM only): The mic select switch selects whether
the panel microphone or the headset microphone is active. If the VOX
feature is enabled, it is only operational when the panel microphone is active.
9. Channel Switch: This switch selects whether the speaker station is active on
intercom channel A or channel B.
10. Headset Connector: The headset connector is located on the front panel. All
Clear-Com headsets are recommended for use with the KB-702. The
Clear-Com handheld push-to-talk microphone will also plug into the
headset connector. The following is a description of the characteristics of a
suitable headset:
KB-702/KB-702GM TWO-CHANNEL SPEAKER STATIONS
1-5
Mic Type --- Dynamic; see technical specifications for details
Headphone --- Dynamic; see technical specifications for details
The wiring of the headset is to be as follows:
Pin 1 --- Mic common
Pin 2 --- Mic hot
Pin 3 --- Headphone common
Pin 4 --- Headphone hot
The mic and headphone wiring in the headset cord must be individually
shielded. Do not connect pins #1 and #3 together. Headset extension cords
or headset “Y” cables are not recommended because they will increase
crosstalk between channels.
11. Panel Mic Connector (KB-702GM only): Clear-Com recommends the
GM-9 and GM-18 plug-in panel microphones for use with the KB-702GM.
The GM-9 is 9 in. (23.04 cm) long and the GM-18 is 18 in. (46.08 cm)
long. Both are the electret type. The 1/4 in. (0.64 cm)phone jack on the
microphone mates with the panel mic receptacle on the front panel of the
KB-702GM.
To install a GM-9 or GM-18 microphone, use the following steps:
1. Remove the plastic plug from the jack, if present.
2. Check and unscrew the set screw in the mic mounting flange to make
sure it is clear of the threads in the bushing.
3. Screw the microphone into the bushing hand tight.
4. Turn the set screw on top of the mic mounting flange clockwise to lock
the microphone in place.
12. VOX Control (KB-702GM only): When the panel microphone is selected
on the KB-702GM, the VOX control should be adjusted for proper
operation. This control is located to the right of the panel mic connector.
Use a narrow flat blade screwdriver such as a greenie or tweaker for this
adjustment. When the adjustment is correctly set, the VOX light illuminates
amber when speaking into the panel microphone. Turning the control
clockwise makes the KB-702GM more sensitive to your voice. The VOX
feature can be disabled by turning the VOX control fully counterclockwise.
INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS AND CONNECTIONS
The controls and connectors found inside the KB-702 are shown in the
following figure and described by the following text. The controls can be
accessed without completely removing the panel from its wall box or V-Box
enclosure by removing the top two screws and loosening the bottom two screws a
few turns. Then lean the panel out from the wall. The controls will then be
accessible as shown in the lower view of Figure 1-3. The numbers in the left
column of the following descriptions refer to Figure 1-3.
KB-702/KB-702GM TWO-CHANNEL SPEAKER STATIONS
1-6
Figure 1-3: Internal Adjustments and Connections
13. Call Alert Tone Level Control: This control adjusts the volume of the call
alert tone sound. This is normally adjusted when the system is set up and
there should be no need to adjust it in normal operation. This feature can be
disabled by turning the control fully counterclockwise.
14. Option Switches: Three option switches are provided. They should be
configured when the system is set up, but are not changed in normal
operation. Note the on position of each switch is toward the circuit board
and the off position is toward the front panel. The default position of the
switches is in the off position. The function of each switch is as follows:
1. SINGLE CHANNEL: In some installations, the KB-702 is intended to
be used only with one intercom channel. Setting the single channel
switch to the on position will connect the KB-702 to the one intercom
channel regardless of the position of the front panel channel selector. In
two-channel installations, this switch must be set to the off position.
2. LONG LINE: If a long cable run is unavoidable and approaches
700 ft. (213.5 m) or more, set the long line option switch to the on
position. The ability to set a sidetone null depends upon properly setting
this switch.
3. LATCH DISABLE: Setting the latch disable switch to the on position
will disable the latching function of the talk button. In this mode, the
talk button must be continuously pressed while the operator is talking.
15. Call Signal Jumper: In some installations it is important to receive a call
signal from either channel, regardless of the setting of the channel selector.
The plug-on jumper P1 makes the call light respond to either (a) the selected
channel or to (b)either channel, depending upon its orientation. By default,
the jumper is set to the selected channel position. When the TW or 4-Wire

Option modules are installed, this jumper is not used. In TW operation, the
call signal always originates on channel A. In 4-Wire operation, the call
signal is not used.
16. Intercom Line Connection: The KB-702 contains a 5-terminal plug-on
connector for intercom line connection. This connector is intended to be
unplugged from the circuit board when connecting the intercom line, and
then plugged back on when the wiring is completed. The connections for
each pin are visible on the circuit board when the connector is unplugged.
The pinout of this connector is as follows:
Pin 1 --- (NC)
Pin 2 --- Channel A Audio
Pin 3 --- Channel B Audio
Pin 4 --- Power
Pin 5 --- Ground (Shield)

speaker or headset is controlled by the program level control. The program
input accepts a balanced or unbalanced line-level audio signal. If this input is
connected to the stage announce (SA) output of a main station it can be used
as a paging input. Since the level of this input is independently adjustable
from the intercom audio volume, it can be used to override the intercom
audio.
The pinout of the program input connector is as follows:
Pin 1 --- Ground (shield)
Pin 2 --- + Signal
Pin 3 --- - Signal
Figure 1-6: Program-Input Cable Wiring
18. Option Board Jumpers: The three jumper plugs P1, P2, and P3 must be
installed when optional modules are not used. When the optional EB7-4W
four-wire or EB7-TW modules are used, both P1 and P3 must be removed.
In the KB-702GM, P2 is replaced by the VOX module. Save these jumper
plugs for possible future use after removing them. The KB-702 will not
operate without either these jumper plugs or the optional modules
installed.
